"Paperguide is an AI-native platform for scientific research and evidence synthesis. Search over 200 million academic papers, explore scientific literature, read full text from your saved research PDFs, and organize references in your Paperguide workspace.\n\nDiscover research. Search papers and preprints from PubMed, arXiv, OpenAlex, and Semantic Scholar. Find relevant studies using natural language, refine results by publication year, citations, open-access availability, or PDF availability, and retrieve paper details by DOI or PubMed ID. Explore scientific findings, compare studies, and plan literature reviews with links to the sources.\n\nRead and organize papers. Save research papers by DOI or PDF link, retrieve available full text from saved references, and ask questions about their methods, results, and conclusions. Search within attached PDFs, create or rename folders, and organize your references across research projects.\n\nSupport systematic reviews. Access your existing reviews, identify papers missing PDFs, attach available full-text documents, and track PDF processing to support screening and evidence extraction within Paperguide.\n\nBuilt for students, PhD researchers, academics, clinicians, and research teams conducting literature searches, evidence synthesis, and systematic reviews. A Paperguide account is required. Some research and full-text operations use Paperguide AI credits; full-text access depends on document availability and account permissions. Review screening and extraction take place in Paperguide."

"Paperguide connects ChatGPT and Codex to scientific literature and your research workspace. Discover papers from a catalog of 200M+ research works; read and critically evaluate saved PDFs; compare studies, synthesize findings, and explore evidence gaps; organize reference libraries; and create, revise, and export cited documents in Paperguide AI Writer.\n\nSix guided research Skills support literature discovery, critical appraisal, cross-study evidence comparison, research gap exploration, academic writing, and reference organization. The Skills orchestrate the existing Paperguide MCP tools, with source links and page references when available. They do not independently run a comprehensive systematic review, certify risk-of-bias ratings, perform meta-analysis, or guarantee that a missing paper has no evidence.\n\nPaperguide also supports finding missing PDFs for existing systematic reviews and formatting citations. A Paperguide account and authorization are required to access saved content. Full-text availability varies; some actions use AI credits or usage allowances, and imported material may not be available in full text."
